A Day in the Life #adayinthelife Willagee, Western Australia, 7:22am. Me making school lunches while wearing my Christmas Grinch pyjamas. I’ve made genuine friends through blogging. This has had a positive influence on my life.
We spent a few days at Four Elements Farm Stay in the South-West of Western Australia. I relaxed into it quite quickly.
The owner of the Farmstay, Pete, offered daily activities for the kids in the morning and the evening. While the ride in the ATV would have been enough, catching marron in the dam was even better.
These photos donβt do justice to the size of this bonfire. It was pumping out some serious heat.
Iβm being drawn towards Roam. Iβve emailed @twelvety for his thoughts, and I imagine @jack must have some too. Itβs expensive, but Iβm also searching for a really great daily note system and knowledge database combined.
Buying an iMac late last year must go down as one of my best ever computer purchasing decisions. I freakin' love this thing, and timing it for the year of working from home has been perfect.
I’ve been considering whether my current DEVONthink daily note is the best system for rapid note taking. Of course there’s nothing wrong with it, other than it being super-basic.
DEVONthink Pros Wikilinking (automatic and manual) to other notes. Integrated into broader DEVONthink Search/See Also system. No-nonsense, no futzing with formatting. DEVONthink Cons No genuine Markdown editing support. No outlining support Just a plain text document. I’ve been looking at Dynalist and Workflowy.
Over the past two years my wife has been working at Containers for Change. This is a not-for-profit organisation enabled by the Western Australian Government and funded by the private sector.
When she started it was a start-up organisation working out of a tiny shared office with big plans to get a container deposit scheme (i.e. return drink bottles and cans for cash) up and running across our State.
A week ago, the scheme launched.
My brother casually mentioned to me that he had been building up a second brain using the PARA methodology in Notion, supported by Readwise and Instapaper. Does he not realise that Iβm the geek of the family? He’s getting close to stepping on my turf.
I think Iβm falling down the Dyanalist rabbit hole. I like outliners, and this is so much better than OmniOutliner, which has regressed continuously since version 3.
Biden’s next move after Trump’s COVID-19 hospitalization - Axios:
But with Trump in quarantine for the foreseeable future, the campaign is now relying on members of the first family β Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, and Eric and Lara Trump β to carry the torch as part of a new “Operation MAGA” campaign…
Cool, that should go well then.
Australia’s answer to The Onion is The Shovel. They’re having a fun time with the news of Trump contracting COVID-19.
Frantic Donald Trump Unable To Open Childproof Cap On Bottle Of Hydroxychloroquine:
Shouting at White House aides to bring him a hammer or an axe, US President Donald Trump was this evening desperately trying to navigate the childproof cap on a bottle of hydroxychloroquine.
Trump Refuses To Accept Result Of Covid Test | The Shovel:
If I didnβt have OmniFocus to help manage my work; Iβd be screwed. I have no idea how people get through work and life without one. I have so many juggling balls that OmniFocus is the only way.
